Speech & Language Therapy
Speech & Language Therapists work with a variety of people - from children who stammer to elderly recovering from brain injury or stroke. Communication is involved in every aspect of our lives. Therefore, the aim of a Speech and Language Therapist is to eliminate and/or improve any difficulties in speech, language, communication and swallowing, removing unnecessary frustration for both children and adults.
